Article Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery reduces, but not eliminates, the rate of incisional hernia. It is accepted that large trocar orifices should be sutured, in order to prevent future herniation. In morbidly obese patients, the closure of the anterior fascia is a very difficult job, and it does not prevent from preperitoneal herniation. Ventralex composite mesh is a very easy-to-place device, which closes satisfactorily both the peritoneal opening and the subcutaneous trocar pathway. We recommend its use for large diameter orifices and Hasson orifices in bariatric patients.

Bariatric surgery is a standard treatment for obesity and a number of its complications. Although surgical complications are relatively rare, some patients must return to the emergency department or to a facility far removed in place and time from the original surgery. The purpose of this update is to outline the main reasons for short, medium, and long-term emergency department visits and re-hospitalizations in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Aims: Existing fundoplication techniques, although effective, may present drawbacks as dysphagia and recurrence. This study presents a new modified Laparoscopic Toussen (TOUpet-niSSEN) Fundoplication (LTF) developed to reduce the risk of dysphagia and recurrence. We aim to report its safety, feasibility and efficacy in the treatment of pediatric Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

This study examines the effects of a new dual-wavelength laser (980-nm and 1470-nm) on intestinal tissue incisions. The 980-nm laser efficiently absorbs hemoglobin and water, while the 1470-nm laser excels in water absorption. Therefore, these wavelengths offer significant advantages for tissue cutting and coagulation.

Intraoral subcondylar fracture repair still remains one of the most controversial and discussed topics in the field of maxillofacial trauma. Despite transoral endoscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation has attracted wide attention, the surgical approach still is technically challenging and specialised instruments are mandatory. Trauma surgeons need to go through a shallow learning curve in order to achieve suitable and predictable surgical results comparable to the standard extraoral approaches.
